When you make statements like “it’s the worst UI” that doesn’t imply your opinion. It implies fact.
He didn’t interpret it wrong. It was your statement now your second sentence here makes more sense since it’s written as opinion.
Something must be wrong with the installation. That can’t be normal. Maybe try a clean install?
For dark dock and menu, and notifications - turn on dark mode, then in terminal type the following and restart. This forces apps 'Light' whilst in dark mode, leaving the dock, menu, etc dark.
defaults write -g NSRequiresAquaSystemAppearance -bool YES
I know this isn't the best place to post this, but my Mac Mini Server (mid 2011 w/ 250 SSD and 16GB of RAM) cannot die! The official mojave release thread is super full with posts, so... has anyone tried the following with success?

I agree with everyone that states it is sad some Macs are being cutoff while being capable of handling mojave (since I have only had my systems for little over a year). I also have had great success with Sierra and High Sierra on my systems. Being relatively new to the Apple Eco System I am still feeling my way about and would appreciate any advice.

What that guy is describing about Mojave actually was the experience most users had after upgrading to High Sierra last year.
How can you praise Dark Mode when Finder and Mail is impossible to use?
I liked the dark menu and dock, sadly they ditched this from settings. Still there is a workaround, but you have to go through Terminal to enable this.
I'm currently using Dark Mode...I can see Finder and Mail just fine. Funny how differing people have differing opinions on things.

That is very, very true. Fortunately, Mojave is nothing like High Sierra.
Good for you. But I've just rolled back to High Sierra. Light mode + dark menu/dock is the perfect combination.
Is it really worth downgrading back to High Sierra when you can enable the same thing in Mojave using a simple terminal command?
You can, but it breaks the appearance in some areas/apps. For example, Notifications looks terrible.. text is unreadable
Well you can always send Apple feedback, just don't expect a response.

Isn't it incredible, we can use technologies like computer systems and communicate over thousands of miles without leaving our houeses, sending signals from earth to satellites an back just to post complains about some bugs in a beta release. What worthy achievements. It sadly however also proves: Stupidity is a real thing. Lets cheer the glasses and enjoy the moment.
That's not the point, shutting it down and waiting for 5 minutes does not make sense, a reboot does the job, there's no need to wait even seconds.
I’m not experiencing any issues with Mojave and I’m loving the dark mode. Besides the visible features (there are few) the important thing to remember is the under the hood changes they are making this year and next are bringing UIKit to the Mac and a SHARED underlying OS between macOS and iOS. Which makes next year the year we can get macs with arm chips and great battery life as well as all of our favorite iOS apps on the Mac. I’m very much looking forward to next year and without all the work that they did this year it would not have been possible. Apple is thinking long term and I really appreciate that.
It seems a bit slower than High Sierra for me and animations aren't as smooth, I also get some UI glitches like when I scroll lists (see image). But it's a .0 version so I expect Mojave to get to its full potential within a few versions as usual when issues are addressed that only appear in widespread roll-outs with many different system configurations.
Yes. High Sierra lets you disable “LCD font smoothing” in System Preferences.

Thank you for finally agreeing with me
It's working in Safari for me. Are you using a non-Retina Mac?
And it's rendering the menubar text with very subpixel-like colour fringing...
I didn’t mean to dismiss you; it’s just contrary to the information I have.
I may have not relaunched Safari. It was late at night.
If the menu bar has subpixel rendering, that strengthens my assumption that this essentially disables Core Animation text rendering altogether (the name may also indicate this; CG is Core Graphics), which would have performance implications.
(The only other explanation I can think of is that this is an implementation of subpixel rendering in Core Animation, but they perhaps deemed it too unreliable, slow, whathaveyou to make it the default. Don’t expect this setting to survive for long.)
Sounds like this release is off to a good start, and can only get better. I still have some annoying bugs in HS like random dock freezing but nothing severe.
Hopefully the 3rd party software I use gets updated fast as I'm also eager to try Mojave out!
